CORI 2024-2025 Scholarships: Book Chapter Shortcut Workshop (Fall 2024)

Finally ready to finish a book chapter in the most efficient way possible?

In this facilitated 8-week workshop you'll work alongside a cohort of authors to repurpose your writing into a solid draft of a book chapter. This workshop is designed for authors who have existing writing (notes, a dissertation chapter, conference papers, seminar papers) and need to revise that writing into a publishable chapter. It is NOT designed for authors who merely have an idea for a chapter but have not yet written material. There will be weekly 90-minute working meetings designed to help you make progress readying your work for publication.
